While musing around I've been looking at some pretty impressive STOL aircraft. Some of the most impressive are based on the Piper Cub design.
So my question is what are the changes made to the planes? Longer/larger wings? Bigger engines? Swinging larger props? Puttin' on those big ole fat tires and pointing the plane skyward?
Which leads to another question. Say you took a plane such as the Fisher Horizon II, which already has pretty impressive numbers listed and try to make it better. Would it take some serious design changes? Or could a some small changes make a big difference?
